Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2604395A] A connector has a first member 1 forming a female member, and a second member 2 forming a male member arranged to co-operate with the female member along a longitudinal axis 3. The first member houses a spring biased claw 44 which has a finger 49 arranged to engage in a detent 25 in the second member so as secure the second member to the first member. A latch 70, which is reciprocal in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3, is arranged to abut the claw 44 to lock and prevent the claw from opening when engaged in the detent 25. A magnet 76 is attached to the latch 70 and the latch 70 is spring biased by a spring 78 to lock the claw. A second magnet (not shown) is positioned adjacent the first magnet 76 to withdraw the latch from engagement with the claw, thereby enabling removal of the second member 2. The device may be used as part of an animal lead.
